Default AMP for my Bagger

I am looking for a motorcycle amp that will power 2 speakers and will play and charge my ipod. Does anybody know if such a thing exist? I have found plenty of amps that will play the ipod but not charge it.

Thanks!

I have been searching for something to charge my ipod as well. What I am going to end up doing is adding a charger in my saddlebag that has 3 cig. lighter plugs and a USB charge port. I will have to run a headphone to rca cable to the amp to get sound and will have to run a standard USB charging cable for the ipod. It sucks to run 2 wires, but thats about the only way to do it.

Something else I found out was if you use a cable like this:

which will supposedly charge and play your ipod to an amp via the RCA cables, but if the ipod is your only audio source and its running directly to the amp, it will have a fixed volume output. The volume output is only changed thru the headphone jack, so basically this cable is only good if your hooking it up thru a AUX IN on a headunit.

I hope that makes sense.

Also if you have some time, you can check out my audio mod write up and it will give you an idea about what I did for my stereo on my bike.
